* Notably, while Cora keeps calling him "Roy", Quiggley never calls Cora by name. At most, she refers to her as "Lady". This may seem distant of him, at least once he starts bonding with her. But then, it occurs: he's trying to distance himself from Cora's delusion of being Roy. If he really ''were'' her husband, then why would he call her "lady"? This is his way of helping ease Cora out of her coping mechanism and facing reality.

* For the longest time, I was a little bit irritated by the BedouinRescueService scene after Marston has him hauled off into the desert to die. I understand the AnthropicPrinciple, but it certainly seems unlikely that there are very many Marstons around, and Quigley was the first man Marston hired, so why should there be any coincidental rescue in this case? ...other than, perhaps, that the aborigines were in a ''de facto'' state of war with Marston's gang, with covert agents placed in his employ, one of whom ''saw'' Quigley's reaction to Marston's proposition and had plenty of time to report which direction he was taken. In fact, this also explains where the aborigines came from at the end of the movie, surrounding the ranch when the British soldiers were threatening Quigley: they knew something was up when Quigley was fighting Marston before and they called in the troops.
